STOCKHOLM | Tuesday 8th May
Today, May 8th, our shop in Stockholm turns 10 – come celebrate with us! 10% off everything in the Stockholm shop until Sunday.
On a sunny Thursday in May ten years ago, Carolyn Cassady of immense beat (and other) fame, cut the green ribbon and inaugurated our shop in Old Town in Stockholm. Today, May 8th, marks the ten year anniversary of the shop opening in Stockholm.
The owners of The Uppsala English Bookshop, Jan and Christer, had talked for years about opening a second shop in Stockholm and then stumbled on this cosy little place in Old Town. In the summer of 2015 we relocated to the lovely place where we are now in Södermalm, close to Nytorget – it’s like a little world unto itself with nooks and crannies – all full of books, with Tom presiding deftly behind his wooden counter.
What an amazing ten years it has been. And what a great year this has been so far – we’ve hosted events and releases, held a number of reading groups and storytelling sessions, received more than 1500 new titles bolstering our already extravagant stock, won the Bookstore of the Year Award at London Book Fair, and now we’re turning ten!

While growing up in West Belfast, Sean does everything he’s supposed to do. He works hard, he studies, and he – mostly – stays out of trouble. The thirty-year conflict is over, he’s told, and his future is lit with promise. But when Sean returns home from university, he finds much of the same – the same friends doing the same gear in the same clubs, the same fathers and brothers missing… One night, he assaults a stranger at a party, and everything begins to come undone.
Close to Home begins with this sudden act of violence and expands into a startling portrait of working-class Ireland under the long shadow of the Troubles. // Discuss in the Fiction reading group //

How to put a positive spin on a murder mystery... What happens when a ghostwriter for the rich and famous lands the ultimate gig: writing the memoir of a disgraced presidential candidate? Our witty, nosy narrator arrives at a secluded estate to meet Dorothy Gibson, the fallen political star everyone’s talking about. But when a neighbor turns up dead, the ghostwriter finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery she never saw coming. Add in a secret investigation, a suspiciously handsome man, and a plot twist no one expected – and suddenly, the story she’s writing becomes her own.
Perfect for fans of Knives Out and Agatha Christie, this clever, twisty mystery is full of surprises. // Discuss in the Crime reading group in Göteborg //
